What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €38,900 asking price is very low at €159/m², but a 245 m² house needing renovation implies roughly €171,500 in works, or about €857/m² all-in—far above the local comparison level of €315/m². The rebuilt roof and generous layout help, but the remaining renovation burden makes this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a very large independent house with a generous private courtyard, covered parking/portico and useful outbuildings, offered at an unusually low price for 245 sqm. It is a real, roofed home with bathrooms, floors and heating rather than a shell, but the interiors are severely dated and need significant refurbishment before it becomes an attractive dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€49,000 – €86,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Substantial renovation is needed: peeling walls, damp staining, dated interiors and kitchen.
- The property appears structurally complete, but utilities, roof condition and heating performance should be verified.
- The setting is spacious and private but lacks a distinctive panorama or especially scenic Italian character.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 41/100The cluster lies in the flat Po plain near the Po River, in a landscape of fields, poplar groves and irrigation channels. Casale Monferrato is the nearest substantial town, with a cathedral, a castle and the main services of the area. The hills of Monferrato begin a short distance to the south, but the immediate 15 km area is lowland agricultural country.
